When i first heard about cloud gaming i hated the idea and i still slightly do..
However i can see why Sony is doing this, if they want to be number 1 again they can't follow anymore they have to lead the pack. The same way in which Apple came back by leading the MP3, Phone and Tablet industry.
Sony doing this and charging a small fee of around £5 a month to stream any game you want to your TV from a PS3 or a box the size of a AppleTV box could be huge! imagine the shelf with the WiiU £299, Xbox Loop £349, PSOrbis £99.
partnered with Sonys first partys bringing characters like LittleBigPLanet to the global masses and having a huge.. and I'm talking HUGE media blits could rocket sony straight into first place. it usually costs Billions to release a new system. at £99 entry they could be making a nice profit on that box and allocate about 1Billion in advertising. Yes I'm being serious.
The money they wouldn't have to put into shipping these huge machines, Developing them and building them could be used in making sure not 1 person on the earth doesn't know what the Playstation Orbis is.
Imagine a TV add aimed at Parents for the holidays... Mom and child walk into a store and the kids throws a tantrum because he wants the latest game for £40.. then its kicks in..
£5 a month.. Any Game, Any Time. Playstation Orbis.
